Geocaching

Do you know what Geocaching is? If you're a friend of Robin's I assume you know about it by now. It's his favourite past-time. (Don't tell his XBox friends that...) No matter where we go, there is always a geocache nearby. Always.
(Note, geocaches are also located near yarn stores.  But I think we may have exhausted the local ones. Could some one please hide some more around Wolseley Wools and Ram Wools CoOp. K, thx.)
(PS If you actually want to know what geocaching is, I've linked to the main site. Don't ask me to explain the treasure hunt. Talk to Robin.)

This is a familiar sight for me.
Almost as familiar as these:



 (Just a little kiddo goodness for your day. I know I'm overdue for sharing pictures.)

 This guy is rather familiar too and looking might comfy. (Had to share.)

But as I was saying, we do a lot of geocaching. And by "we" I mean Robin. Often Abi is with him. Sometimes the babies and I tag along.  Sometimes we "tag along" by waiting in the car. I knit. There are a lot of roadside geocaches.

Last weekend we attended our first geocachers event hosted by long time family friends, who also happen to be avid geocachers (or, at least the male half of the couple is avid; I suspect the other half tags along as I do).
There were a lot of geocachers - young and old, families and couples and so forth. Plenty of kids for Abi to run around with.  There was also a live band, who played a couple of kickass sets in the evening.
And there was the Jenga fire.
Robin took a picture with Abi as a reference.


Then the tower grew...


And then it was a tower of fire.  Everyone waited in anticipation for the tower to crumble. It was quite exciting. There are a couple dozen videos of it I'm sure, since everyone had cameras out. We have videos.

Abi and Pa-pere

A great event all around.   Abi even met a girl her own own age (whose parents are 'cachers) who actually happens to live a few blocks away.


Lastly, we're ready for the big wedding tomorrow. Abi demonstrated her readiness at the rehearsal last night. Sunday I hope to get up the real pictures. Stay tuned.
